MAJOR OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS OF THE KEY STATE-LEVEL SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRAM IN THE 2001-2005 FIVE-YEAR PERIOD: "Scientific research and development of new materials technologies", Code: KC.02

(Issued together with Decision No. 17/2001/QD-BKHCNMT of June 11, 2001 of the Minister of Science, Technology and Environment)

a/ Objectives:

- To build scientific and technological potentials which shall serve as basis for receiving, adapting, mastering, improving and developing new materials technologies.

- To research into a number of technologies, thus creating basis for the import, transfer and development of technologies in the field of materials.

- To research into and select new technologies and new materials in service of a number of projects and socio-economic programs of the State.

b/ Major contents:

- To research into and apply modern technologies in pig-iron, steel, aluminum and some other metals casting suitable to Vietnam�s resources and practical conditions.

- To research into and apply technologies of refining, denaturing, alloying, casting and processing pig-iron, steel, aluminum and high-quality metal products in service of machine-building industry, construction, cement and chemicals production, and defense.

- To improve technologies of manufacturing high-grade ceramics, porcelain, glass products and high-durability porous materials,�

- To study and develop polymer and nano-composite polymer materials on the base of flexible thermoplastic, composite polymer materials reinforced by a homogeneous fibre or mixed with plant fibres (bamboo, neohouzeaua, jute, coconut,�) in order to minimize environmental pollution and reduce cost-price of products, apply technologies of dragging-casting, extrusion, spouting-pressing, hot-pressing in mold, scrolling in machine for the processing of the turned out materials.

- To expand the application of assorted compound polymers on the base of flexible thermoplastics and natural rubber as well as other compound materials for quality improvement and product cost reduction.

- To research into and develop assorted medical-biological polymer materials on the basis of carbon, carbon composite, polyurethane,� To raise the quality and expand the application of products on the base of chitin/chitosan.

- To research into materials and technologies for protecting traffic, building defense works, sea and island works.

- To research into photoelectronic and photonic materials, energy transformation materials, high-grade magnetic materials, nano-structured materials. To research into catalytic materials for treating waste gases by rare earth, and rare-earth magnet production technology.-
